Asking Price Range

Estimated MPG

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as "sticker" price, is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car that is above the invoice price paid by the dealer. It is a price that does not include any options that can be added to a particular car style. When shown as a range, the prices are starting MSRPs, without options, for multiple styles for that model.

This price range reflects for-sale prices on Cars.com for this particular make, model and year.

These city and highway gas mileage estimates are for the model's standard trim configurations. Where there are optional features, packages or equipment that result in higher gas mileage, those fuel-economy estimates are not included here.

A Good Car

by Stumpy from Toronto, Canada | January 11, 2015

I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT (SE package).
I live in Toronto, Canada where it can get cold during the winter season especially in the month of Jan. So far the car has been holding up well. I've had no problems with it whatsoever.
The interior seating is comfortable. There are multiple seat adjustments that you won't find in anything but luxury cars.
I purchased a mini rectangular soft pillow which I place on the left (between the driver door and my body) as a make shift arm rest. It works out to be more comfortable than any arm rest in history.
The exterior styling looks better than other hatchbacks but personally I'm not a fan of the 17" chrome wheels even though most people like it.
The 17" sized tires work well in the winter to get through snow.
The boot space of a hatch with folding rear seats is something I never appreciated until I've had to use it on multiple occasions to take people with lots of luggage to the air port and transport a BBQ unit for a friend to his house..etc. Only now do I understand why hatchbacks with folding rear seats are so useful for cargo carrying capacity.
The car's engine even in eco mode is zippy. The 2013 GT has a 147 hp engine (same as in Elantra sedans i think) while the 2014 GT has a more powerful 179 hp engine. I prefer what I have (147 hp) as its more than enough. Also it consumes less gas.
Overall I'm quite happy with this car. It compares well with hatch back cars that are more expensive. I've put about 13K kms on my GT in mostly highway driving. We'll see how it holds up in the years ahead.

Excellencia!

by Hyundai First-Timer from Niagara Falls, ON | December 13, 2014

I've had my GT for 2.5 years and about 40K km now, owning it since brand new. Love it! To be short:
Pros: Excellent fuel economy. Style, comfort and ergonomics throughout. Hatchback versatility. Smooth and peppy ride. Panoramic sunroof that makes convertibles look obsolete. Overall, the value the GT offers for its money is unprecedented. I've checked many of the so-called luxury cars and found that their bells and whistles are very much the same as my GT has. So, what's the use of overpaying $Ks just for a fancy badge on the grill?
Cons: The dealer had to deal with the Check Engine light (that went on soon after the purchase), a glitch in the MP3 player, and a jam in the passenger side seat belt. They fixed it all, quickly, competently and with a ton of apologies, offering me a couple of free oil changes for the inconvenience. Nice, eh?
Apart from excellent AC performance in hot summer, the GT behaves very well in Canadian winter. Starts with the first turn of the key in any weather, warms up in no time and heated seats are a plus. Handles great even on regular Firestone winter tires. Of course, it was built for smooth flight over the asphalt and not for climbing rocks or exploring the Moon, so I try to avoid harsh terrain and deep snow - and my GT responds gratefully and gracefully.
Conclusion: I've driven cars from most of the world's major manufacturers, preferring Japanese. The 2013 Elantra GT is my first Korean-made car - and tops them all. I would seriously consider switching my further preferences to Hyundai. Would recommend it to anybody.

Best Car, Best Value

by Happy Hyundai Owner from Long Island New york | June 26, 2014

What a great car! Comfortable, economical, quality throughout. Gentle on the gas gets over 40 miles to the gallon! My dealer is as good as the car is. This is my second Hyundai, and it wont be my last!

Dealer bait and switch

by Hyundai owner from Woodstock, NY | June 5, 2014

My dealer sold me a 2012 Elantra Touring a year and a half ago for a decent price but, after recently asking to buy it back, I asked for a 2013 Elantra GT at MSRP- plus the $7500 discount they were offering on all 2013's. It turns out they have no cars at MSRP and probably never did. In fact, the 2013's are all at least 4000 more than MSRP and the $7500 discount has so many loopholes, it's doubtful anyone will ever qualify for the full $7500. Good luck finding this car for MSRP and good luck getting any discount at all on it.

Well-balanced, but It needs a shift light

by Walkndaddy from Evansville, Indiana | May 23, 2014

The sport mode for steering is excellent, and the suspension is very stable for turns. For all practical purposes, however, you can't see when to shift. The display is too small, and you have to look down. Please provide a light (plus a "beep" option) to tell you when to shift up. This is a super car, and needs "super shifting" for the manual gearbox (which, by the way, is as smooth as silk). Super interior, too!

10k in, happier than ever!

by Erdos from Minneapolis, MN | April 1, 2014

This little car has blown me away. I have never owned a small car where engine noise is hushed at cruising speed. It's bizarre! It's gone through one Minnesota winter with no issues. It was a horrendous year for snow and this GT handled it just fine. The side mirrors are heated! Didn't think that'd come in handy, but it does. The interior is top notch, nice materials and a ridiculous amount of passenger space. Seriously, go sit in it. It fits 4 adults better than my full size sedan did. It's incredible.
The heater is insanely warm. I turn it just past the middle or I'm roasting. Which I thoroughly enjoyed on those -25F days we had this January. Even in that cold, with fresh air turned on, it heated up quick. I am impressed. Air conditioning is just as impressive, and it doesn't seem to bog the engine down much? I don't see how that's possible, but I don't notice it. My old compact it was like tossing an anchor out the window.
I don't have the Navi system, but I do have all my music on a USB stick, which the car integrates. Love this feature. It'll sync to your phone, and play music through bluetooth as well if you'd rather.
I ended up with the push-button ignition option, which I didn't want. But even that has been a pleasant surprise. Leaving your keys in a coat pocket is handy.
I drive with the eco mode engaged and get slightly over 30 mpg. I drive more city than highway by a longshot, so this is fantastic.
This is my first Hyundai, but if this is what I can expect from their vehicles, it will NOT be the last! I am very, very happy I chose this hatchback. This company seems to make all the best features STANDARD. You shouldn't have to pay extra for alloy wheels, cruise, or A/C. Any company that still does this is ridiculous!

dont touch this car

by ralphie from montreal qc canada | February 19, 2014

i saw this car and fell in love with it instantly, by the second oil change i had to add prestone . thought it might be cause it was new but then i started smelling prestone when the car was hot and every oil change i was adding ( not normal) so i brought it to my dealer 3 times with the same problem and they kept telling me its normal we cant find the problem ! tires were finished within 18000kms anyone that drives this car knows you couldnt do a burnout if your life depended on it ! gutless ..... i got a hole in the drivers carpet that they wouldnt change 3 months after i got the car ..... and now im having a problem with the electronic steering and still hyundai gabriel in montreal refuses to fix the problem with this car gabriel hyundai does not honour their customers or their garantees..... 60$ to fill up to full and im getting 340kms to the tank ...... overall rating on this car ........ i bought the lemon and its not worth the money i paid

Love it

by Franky-Doodle from OH | February 19, 2014

The car drives very smoothly; I haven't driven a manual in 9 years and this thing shifts like butter. The Bluetooth comes in very handy and the audio quality is quite nice for stock speakers. Love the push-button start door-handle-button lock/unlock features! Oh, and the gas mileage is just what the manufacturer claims, but only if you don't get push the RPM too much. No problems thus far.

Like the style plus 4doors

by Sporty from Hendersonville, nc | February 18, 2014

I really love this car... Stylish ,sporty and more room in it that I thought it would have... First car ever that the seat belts doesn't rub my neck raw.. Being short this has always been a problem!! Can drive this car and not be right under the steering wheel. Very pleased with my car at this time!!!
Gas mileage is great!! Was only getting about 17 mpg with old car NOW-- averaging around 29..... In town....
